Good luck every time

Han Shian stayed in Sanjia Village that night and returned early the next morning.

Li Ruyi didn't pay much attention to it. After practicing martial arts, she practiced weights at home.

She had to practice until she could scoop out a pound of weight on the scale before she could pass.

Otherwise it would be a waste of time and it would be inconvenient if you weighed it too high or too low.

After practicing for most of the day, Li Ruyi had become very skilled at weighing salt, and all that was left was to slowly get used to it.

She couldn't stay at home for too long, but she had to find someone to do the job as soon as possible.

At this time, the villagers also heard that she was going to sell salt and came to watch the fun.

Li Ruyi was unwilling to deal with it, so she locked the other door, took the key and ran out through the back door.

Recently, my eldest sister has adapted to the life of chatting about gossip with the aunts and sisters in the village.

As soon as I see someone coming to my door with a needle and thread basket, I know he is planning to have a long chat.

She remembered Li Ruyi's instructions, and when she was sewing shoe soles with others, she kept making excuses when it came to business matters.

My eldest sister doesn’t think about most things, but the good thing is that when others ask her, she really doesn’t know.

This person has a soft personality. She doesn't take anything that is said to her to heart, and she just listens blankly even when someone is trying to sow discord between them.

She agreed to whatever others said, but when asked again, her understanding was completely different from what others said.

Not to mention, ordinary people really can't influence her thoughts.

It was the same this time. Hearing that Li Ruyi was working for nothing, some people advised the eldest sister to teach Li Ruyi how to fight with Han Shian.

The eldest sister nodded in agreement, then said she couldn't make the decision.

She opened and closed her mouth, mumbling a few words.

"Ruyi is the boss of the family!"

"I'm not smart, I can't figure it out..."

"I don't know either. Ruyi never tells me anything."

"Ruyi has his own ideas, and I can't control them."

I have to say, sometimes being a bit naive is a skill.

Li Ruyi took a walk outside and went to find Ergouzi to ask for news.

In fact, Ergouzi and the others are too young to help her, otherwise these children would be quite suitable.

Li Ruyi needs to find someone who is tight-lipped, capable of working, and easy to control to help.

After thinking about it, there is only one such person around her.

That’s Li Er.

From the previous incidents of stealing grain and kidnapping, we can see how tight-lipped Li Er is.

This is something Li Ruyi didn't discover in her previous life.

It seems that people's potential needs to be pushed to the limit. Look, she found such a suitable person in no time.

The most appropriate thing was that Li Laoliu happened to split up the family business at this time, and it was Li Laosi who presided over the split.

This means that the powerful figure who has controlled the Li family for decades has announced that he will completely withdraw from the Li family's power circle. This is Li Laoliu's way of surrendering to him.

And Li Laosi also accepted his younger brother again in his own way.

Any disturbance during this period of ambiguity would cause a wave of turmoil. Li Laoliu's downfall would also make public opinion lean towards him.

Li Ruyi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Li Er and make him do hard labor for him.

However, Li Er went to visit his grandfather's family these two days. Li Ruyi went around but to no avail, and only came back with a lot of information.

Li Ruyi wandered around the village for the whole afternoon and went home only when it was time for dinner.

All the people who came to inquire about the excitement had left.

After dinner, Li Ruyi was taken away by Granny Ding to practice more.

After practicing, she took out the notebook and weighed out more than 30 kilograms of salt according to the records on it, preparing to deliver it to the mountains tomorrow.

Before Li Er came back, she had to visit several places and set up the framework for selling salt.

The next morning, Li Ruyi got up early again. The new house was so spacious!

Grandma Ding no longer has to sleep outside.

After practicing and eating as usual, Li Ruyi packed up and went out with a shoulder pole.

Although everything had been agreed upon beforehand, she was still a little nervous when she went out to sell salt for the first time.

The first place we went to was Songjia Village.

The people in Songjia Village were still very surprised to see Li Ruyi coming.

I was even more surprised when I saw the bag of salt that Li Ruyi took out!

Li Ruyi had always said that the salt sold outside was not good, but they had never tasted the really good official salt. Now that he had seen the quality of the salt, he realized that the extra three cents were really worth it.

Everyone was well prepared and went home to bring salt jars. Li Ruyi weighed and packed salt for people.

I know exactly where a pound of salt will be in the jar when it is poured into it. Although I don't have a scale at home, I can tell at a glance whether it is enough.

Some families had not used up their previous salt, so they did not buy more. The salt Li Ruyi brought was more than enough.

After going door to door, Li Ruyi saw that everything was fine and prepared to leave.

She said she would come back in a while and if anyone needed anything they could tell her.

Seeing that she was about to leave, her second and third uncles came to stop her.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, little brother! We still have something to tell you."

Li Ruzhi saw that they looked serious, so he also found a place to sit down.

These people started talking to each other.

"There are few places to spend money in our mountain area, and every household doesn't have much money. When you came last time, we had some idea, but we couldn't guarantee it without seeing the goods."

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw the salt today and knew that you are a man of your word and capable! We thought, you sell everything, have you ever thought about selling medicinal herbs?"

"Medicinal herbs! That... and leather..."

"Life is hard for people in the mountains. It's hard to go out and trade things. We barely make a few coins all year round."

"..."

Their place is small, and even leather merchants will not come here to buy things.

They can only find ways to sell things at a low price.

They haven't come to terms with the situation since Li Ruyi left last time. These past few days, with nothing to do at home, everyone got together and discussed it several times.

Li Ruyi wanted to accept it.

But her current strength does not allow it.

She had to pay Han Shian forty-seven strings of cash before the 18th of next month.

Among them, thirty-five strings of cash were the salt subsidy for next month, seven strings of cash were the salt tax for this month, and the remaining five strings of cash were Han Shian's money.

Whatever is left at the end is hers.

She can use the money flexibly during the process, but she must be prepared to pay so much money before the end of the month settlement.

The market for leather has always been unstable. In comparison, she prefers to collect some medicinal materials and sell them to pharmacies to get the money back immediately. It just requires running errands.

However, the world of medicinal materials is very complicated. Li Ruyi only knows those that she has seen. If a shop refuses to buy the herbs that she is not familiar with and does not handle well, she will lose money herself.

I thought that since we have come to this, I should discuss it with the villagers in advance. It will be mutually beneficial for both parties and we can cooperate in the future.

"I can consider what you said, but I don't have much money, so I may not be able to exchange anything at the beginning. Please understand."

They were very happy when they heard that Li Ruyi was interested.

In fact, they were not planning to get rich from this. They just thought that they needed to eat salt every month of the year, and if they could use these things to pay for the salt, it would be a good thing!

Otherwise, the money for salt alone would cost several hundred coins a year, and everyone would be busy or idle. If they couldn't make money, would they still not eat salt?

"Oh, that's great! My dear, if you can really collect some things, our lives will be better in the future."

"We don't dare to ask you to take all of them. We just want you to make some money if we can exchange them, and it will be more convenient for us."

Li Ruyi agreed with a smile.

"It's all about making a living! It's a mutually beneficial thing."

After hearing this, everyone was very happy and chatted for a while.

Li Ruyi couldn't stand the people around her praising her, so she spoke quickly.

"Why don't you take me to see what's available? Next time you come, I'll go to the county to ask for prices."

Li Ruyi couldn't possibly buy everything, so she could only pick the ones she was sure of. Moreover, if this village bought the products, other villages would have to buy them as well. Then how to sell them after buying them was another problem.

She still needs to plan carefully how this back and forth will work.

The child who was squatting nearby and eavesdropping on their conversation had already passed the words back.

Li Ruyi was still chatting with people, and the next moment someone came over carrying a sack and showed it to her.
